    1. i saved these photos from ebay years ago. I believe it says Hptm Nordmann beneath the caricature. The second photo is of FAA 234. The man in the centre with the large medal bar and two flying badges looks similar to the drawing. It 'might' be him. Sadly both photos are quite small.
    2. Hi all, This ribbon bar is of a Prussian Hauptmann and the photo was taken in mid-1918. I was wondering if anyone can give their opinion as to what awards are being displayed please? Unfortunately the image isn't great, and I am unable to show the full photo because I have not been granted this privilidge. Thanks a lot, Matt.
    3. Hi all, Does anyone know who this is please? Kind Regards, Matt
    4. Glad you liked it. Here is another one. At first I didn't notice the man on the right. He is wearing his Hohenzollern ahead of the EK2.
    5. First name: Wilhelm Albrecht from Braunschweig (1883-1944). From the Stolzenauer Wochenblatt. I haven't been able to determine his WW1 regiment.
    6. First name: Hptm dR Paul Krug. From the Schalker Zeitung, 31/12/14, 21/10/16 and 03/11/17 respectively.
    7. Hi Gunnar, Many thanks. I couldn't find him in the rank lists, I was searching for any similar name starting with SIE....
    8. Many thanks for your reply. I feel it's a bit strange that he didn't get the HT, considering he was in IR 115 before joining the Fliegertruppe.
    9. Hi all, Can anyone please confirm which awards Buddecke is wearing in 3rd, 4th & 5th place? Is it: SH3, HT and BrK2? In "Aviation Awards - Vol 3" O'Connor mentions that Buddecke also received the BMV4x, but I don't see it on the photo. Can anyone confirm if he received this award? Thanks a lot, Matt.
